ABSTRACT This article describes the efforts made by the Israeli government to contain the spread of COVID-19, which were implemented amidst a constitutional crisis and a yearlong electoral impasse, under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was awaiting a trial for charges of fraud, bribery, and breach of trust. It thereafter draws on the disproportionate policy perspective to ascertain the ideas and sensitivities that placed key policy responses on trajectories which prioritized differential policy responses over general, nation-wide solutions (and vice versa), even though data in the public domain supported the selection of opposing policy solutions on epidemiological or social welfare grounds. The article also gauges the consequences and implications of the policy choices made in the fight against COVID-19 for the disproportionate policy perspective. It argues that Prime Minister Netanyahu employed disproportionate policy responses both at the rhetorical level and on the ground in the fight against COVID-19; that during the crisis, Netanyahu enjoyed wide political leeway to employ disproportionate policy responses, and the general public exhibited a willingness to tolerate this; and (iii) that ascertaining the occurrence of disproportionate policy responses is not solely a matter of perception.

当 COVID-19、宪法危机和政治僵局相遇时：从不相称的政策角度看以色列的案例

摘要 本文描述了以色列政府为遏制 COVID-19 传播所做的努力，这些努力是在宪法危机和长达一年的选举僵局中实施的，在总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的领导下，他正在等待因指控欺诈、贿赂和背信。此后，它利用不成比例的政策视角来确定将关键政策反应置于优先于一般的全国性解决方案（反之亦然）的轨迹上的想法和敏感性，即使公共领域的数据支持选择以流行病学或社会福利为由反对政策解决方案。该文章还评估了在与 COVID-19 作斗争中所做出的政策选择的后果和影响，以体现不相称的政策观点。它辩称，内塔尼亚胡总理在与 COVID-19 的斗争中，在言辞层面和实地采取了不相称的政策反应；在危机期间，内塔尼亚胡在采取不成比例的政策应对方面享有广泛的政治回旋余地，而公众表现出容忍这种情况的意愿；(iii) 确定不成比例的政策反应的发生不仅仅是一个感知问题。内塔尼亚胡在采取不相称的政策应对方面享有广泛的政治回旋余地，公众表现出容忍这种情况的意愿；(iii) 确定不成比例的政策反应的发生不仅仅是一个感知问题。内塔尼亚胡在采取不相称的政策应对方面享有广泛的政治回旋余地，公众表现出容忍这种情况的意愿；(iii) 确定不成比例的政策反应的发生不仅仅是一个感知问题。
